Greatest Song In The World Lyrics

This is the greatest and best song in the world... Tribute. 

Long time ago me and my brother Kyle here, 

we was hitchhikin' down a long and lonesome road. 

All of a sudden, there shined a shiny demon...

in the middle... of the road. 

And he said: 

[sung] 

"Play the best song in the world, or I'll eat your souls." (soul)

[spoken] 

Well me and Kyle, we looked at each other, 

and we each said... "Okay." 

[sung] 

And we played the first thing that came to our heads, 

Just so happened to be, 

The Best Song in the World, it was The Best Song in the World. 

and it saved our butts

cuz the demon wanted to kill us

but he was forced to set us free

byt the arnocles that demons

have to live by

because its satans surprise and magic

and its a mystical disgise

the devil sung in its tragic

u are the mysitcal ivergine

and ur rocking

Needless to say, the beast was stunned. 

Whip-crack went his rumped tail, 

And the beast was done. 

He asked us: "(snort) Be you angels?" 

And we said, "Nay. We are but men." 

Rock! 

[sung]

Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh-ah-ah, 

Ohhh, whoah, ah-whoah-oh! 

This is not The Greatest Song in the World, no. 

This is just a tribute. 

Couldn't remember The Greatest Song in the World, no, no. 

This is a tribute, oh, to The Greatest Song in the World, 

All right! It was The Greatest Song in the World, 

All right! It was the best muthafuckin' song the

greatest song in the world. 

[2-part skat] 

[spoken] 

And the peculiar thing is this my friends: 

the song we sang on that fateful night it didn't actually sound 

anything like this song. 

This is just a tribute! You gotta believe me! 

And I wish you were there! Just a matter of opinion. 

Ah, fuck! Good God, God lovin', 

So surprised to find you can't stop it. 

[skat] 

All right! All right!
